"Soul Eater JOT" is the twenty-fourth chapter of the manga Soul Eater NOT! It is comprised of a series of vignettes. In Volume 3 of the Yen Press English translation United States release, it is published as “Soul Eater JOT, Part 5.” A portion of the story "Bored" was adapted as part of Episode 7 of the anime.
In a series of tales about life in Death City, Liz Thompson gives Master a new hairstyle, Anya Hepburn tries to learn how to whistle, a disturbing serial killer appears, and Maka Albarn bestows a title onto Eternal Feather.

Bored[]
At Deathbucks, Liz Thompson is surprised at the dragon sculpture that her sister has made out of napkins--and boredom.
Recognizing how empty the cafe is, Liz blames Master’s intimidating hairstyle. She attempts a “natural look”: Master’s resulting bowl-cut with bangs makes Liz guffaw, while Master stays motionless and stoic. Liz then removes her headdress and places it upon the unflinching Master’s head; she laughs harder, clapping her hand against the counter.
Finger Whistling[]
Tsugumi Harudori and Meme Tatane place their own fingers into their own mouths to whistle, their commoner methods shocking an inexperienced Anya Hepburn. Too afraid to ask her friends how they do so, Anya observes. Tsugumi and Meme show each other the hand gesture to make--but then place their hands anywhere but in their own mouths, joking around, and infuriating Anya.
Texas Mask[]
One night, a figure stands atop a building, looking down onto the community. The person meditates on how to pay for food this month, especially when this person is already so confident holding a chainsaw and ready to kill.
Death Child[]
Just as in Tokyo and Hokkaido, a person may claim a title as “Edokko” or “Dosanko” based on how long they have lived in that location. Likewise, in Death City, while most Death Children must be born and raised in that location, there is an exception: having a near-death experience, or dying, in Death City. As such, Maka Albarn congratulates Eternal Feather, with her near-fatal experience, for becoming “a true Death Child.”
